* Description:
A handmade fountain pen by Eboya, the only one company in Japan that produces ebonite. Ebonite is a material made with natural rubber and sulfur. It is formed by a chemical reaction by mixing and heating those components at high temperatures and preassure. The result is a very resistant material with a very pleasant touch that feels so comfortable in your hand when writing.
The pens are made with Eboya original color marbled ebonite, which production requires very squilled craftsmanship. Each pen has their own unique texture, that can never be the same.
* Converters and cartridges:
Eboya's products are designed to be compatible with "International Standard" type converters and cartridges. We recommend Pelikan converters and cartridges or long type cartridges.
An international standard type converter is included.
* Model:
宝珠 ”HOUJU" means jewel. It is used to refer to a mysterious pearl that is in the possession of a dragon. It is said that has the power to make dreams come true, to give you gold, silver or treasures and to help you to live as you wish. It is a lucky charm with an auspicious shape.
Sometimes we can find "houju" on the bridges' railings of temples and shrines.
The pen has a gentle rounded form at both ends, what gives it a soft and warm look.
The blue color is called 深海 "shinkai", that means "deep blue sea", an ultramarine blue marbled with a black base.
